Pension issues and pension regulation are seldom out of the headlines today, as turbulence in global fi nancial markets has threatened pension plan values. Add to that the recent and forthcoming federal and provincial pension reforms, and it’s clear why this is an area that is complex, technical and a minefield of potential liability.

As a lawyer, CFO, HR manager, consultant or an executive sitting on a pension committee, you are called upon to give advice on or make decisions concerning pension issues. It is critical that you have an understanding of their context and implications in order to avoid potentially costly mistakes.

This Osgoode Professional Development program was developed to provide a comprehensive overview of critical issues to the many professionals and executives whose work involves pensions or pension-related responsibilities. Top experts in pensions will guide you through this thorny area, outlining what you need to know.

This is your opportunity to learn from the acknowledged experts in the pension field.
You’ll walk away from this program with a thorough understanding of the critical issues and you’ll get the information and strategies you need to confidently manage or advise on pension-related matters.
